During his press conference in Hawaii, President Obama referenced being "here in Asia." As Americans know, Hawaii is the 50th state, admitted to the Union on Aug. 21, 1959. Mr. Obama also lists Hawaii as his birthplace, which makes his reference even more curious. So, is Hawaii part of Asia?

No doubt, as Messiah, Obama moved the islands with a wave of his mighty hand.

The 57th state is a long way from Asia.

Could be worse. It could have been one of the Republican candidates. We would have been hearing it for the next 5 days.

Hawaii is a lot closer to Washington D.C. than it is to Pockeestahn.

The good news is, if Hawaii is part of Asia then Obama definitley does not meet the minimum requirements to be president of the United States.

This is dumbness an order of magnitude higher than that of the tourists who go to Hawaii and talk about, "back in the States", etc., whereupon the locals roll their eyes and ask, "You mean the mainland?"

Hawaii is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania. Geographically, it’s neither Asia nor North America. Culturally, it’s pan-asian.

To: Driftwood1
A lot of Hawaii is owned by the Japanese and the natives are Polynesian so that could make it a part of Asia!

Hawaii is not part of any continent. As far as global regions, Hawaii is considered part of Oceania, not Asia. Culturally and Ethnically, Native Hawaiians are considered Pacific Islanders, not Asians.
Obama is an idiot.

He was born a British Subject. • His father was a British Subject and never was a U.S. Citizen, nor even an immigrant to the USA. • At age 5 or 6, he was a Citizen of Indonesia & living there as Barry Soetoro. • He believes he is a Citizen of the world. • He has never conclusively proven he was born in Hawaii by releasing my original contemporaneous 1961 birth registration documents and amendments of same to see what they reveal. • His paternal family in Kenya, Kenyan government officials, and newspapers in Kenya say he was born in Kenya. • His maternal grandmother in Hawaii likely falsely registered him as born in Hawaii to get him, her new foreign-born grandson, U.S. Citizenship using lax Hawaii birth registration laws in 1961.
